Petter Carlsen – Sirens

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Petter Carlsen is once again cutting through my soul with this song. Let it speak for itself..

I don’t know where this is going
but yeah I do intend to come along
I don’t know what I’d be doing
If you decided to move on

It’s like sirens through a peaceful night
It stings you and you turn to fright
Its pain that never goes away
you better run and don’t look back for me
I’m not there

I don’t know where this is going
Every now and then I feel apart
I don’t know how things are meant to be
Every time I’m with you I am me

It’s like sirens through a peaceful night
It stings you and you turn to fright
Its pain that never goes away
you better run and don’t look back for me
I’m not there

Fear that you might not hold on
Fear that you might not stay

♫ Amanda Palmer – The Art of Asking

Geplaatst op door allesannie
Amanda Palmer talks about the art of asking in relation to paying for music in this inspirational TED Talk, but I believe this works for so much more in life. 

If you truly connect with people they are willing to help you. Just ask. But asking makes you vulnerable, which appearantly is something that society sees as a bad thing. I think it is a beautiful thing, the ‘risk’ of trusting people. Open up to them and they too will share. So much positive energy to share and loneliness to be solved. Of course there is disappointment at times, but that’s just life. 

Trust your instincts and you will be rewarded with the often hidden beauty of people! Aside from loving Amanda for her crazyness and openness towards the unknown I love her music too!

♫ Vök – Waterfall

‘Breath in for the last time..’ It actually really feels that’s what I’m doing while listening to this hypnotic song, I forget to breath.. Too bad this feeling is not represented in the video, something dreamier would have suited me better. ‘Waterfall‘ is taken from Vök’s new EP ‘Circles‘. Vök was founded in 2013 and means ‘hole in the ice’. Having a soft spot for music in unknown, incomprehensible languages, especially the Nordic ones, I was already in love with their previous EP ‘Tension‘.

Hoping for a miracle (or just a new job) to happen, I hope to be able to see them later this year at Iceland Airwaves festival in Reykjavik! Until then they end up on my Night Magic list.
